Issuing Digital Micro-Credentials By Using European Standards and Services

Tuesday September 12 (14:00 – 15:30 CET)

The aim of the event is to introduce the European Digital Credentials for Learning Infrastructure and how to use it to issue digital Micro-Credentials that are compliant with Annex 1 of the Council Recommendation on a European approach to microcredentials for lifelong learning and employability. Starting from the policy context from which the European Learning Model (ELM) was born, then explaining and demonstrating how education providers can use this EU standard and the EDC tools, participants can learn not only how to issue digital micro-credentials to anyone, at any stage of their lifelong learning journeys, but also what preconditions their institutions need to meet to make credential issuance smooth, efficient and beneficial.
